The RPI(A) has strongly objected to the MNS proposal to use Indu Mill land for a memorial to Bal Thackeray, saying even the Shiv Sena supremo had been in favour of a Babasaheb Ambedkar memorial on the mill land.

The MNS says Indu Mill would be ideal for a memorial to Thackeray, who passed away last week, since there will not be enough space at Shivaji Park to do justice to a man of his stature.
